Describing aspects of self and social agency related to Canadian university athletes’ life skill development
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Gould and Carson (2008) called for research to uncover the underlying mechanisms related to how positive development occurs through sport. The purpose of this study was to identify who is responsible for university student-athletes’ development of life skills, through the lens of student-athletes. Semi-structured open-ended interviews were conducted with fifteen Canadian university athletes (5 male, 10 female; M age = 22, range = 17-26). Data were analyzed using deductive and inductive thematic analyses (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Athletes identified other athletes, the head coach, the coaching staff, and their parents as the people who influenced their development. However, athletes felt they themselves were the ones who contributed the most to their own development in the context of university sport. Our findings provide a preliminary summary of how aspects relating to self-agency and various social agents influence athletes’ acquisition of life skills through their participation in university sport. Keywords : University Sport; Positive Development; Life Skills; Qualitative Research Gould et Carson (2008) affirment qu’il est important de mener des recherches visant a mieux cerner les mecanismes de developpement positif par le biais du sport. Le but de cette etude est d’identifier les personnes responsables du developpement des habiletes de vie d’etudiants-athletes au niveau universitaire, du point de vue des ces etudiants-athletes. Quinze athletes d’universites canadiennes ( 5 hommes et 10 femmes, moyenne d’âge de 22 ans) ont realise une entrevue ouverte semi-structuree sur ce sujet. Une analyse thematique inductive et deductive (Braun et Clarke, 2006) a ete utilisee pour l’analyse de ces entrevues. Les repondants ont identifie les autres athletes, l’entraineur-chef, le personnel d’entraineurs, les parents comme les personnes ayant influence leur developpement. Cependant, les repondants estiment qu’ils sont eux-memes ceux / celles qui ont contribue le plus a leur propre developpement dans le contexte du sport universitaire. Ces resultats offrent des donnees preliminaires quant aux apports de divers agents sociaux a l’acquisition d’habiletes de vie dans le milieu du sport universitaire. Mots cles : sport universitaire; developpement positif; habiletes de vie; recherche qualitative

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
